YAMAHA C-5000

Description

In search of an intangible musical quality that breathes life into high-fidelity audio, the world's largest audio company introduces the C-5000 preamplifier. From the concert stage to the home, Yamaha has drawn on its vast musical history to create an instrument capable of faithfully reproducing every nuance and emotion in a performance.

• Perfectly balanced signal transmission
• Floating balanced preamplifier
• Symmetrical assembly of folding books
• Low impedance design
• Solid and precise design
• Double toroidal transformer
• 2+3 Extended warranty of 5 years through product registration

The C-5000 features fully balanced and discrete transmission circuitry through all stages of the Tone Defeat signal path.

A patented floating design is adopted across the turntable equalizer, input and line amplifier - removing the influence of ground noise from the signal.

Symmetric circuit design of a folding book
The flip book design for the preamp circuit board reflects the left and right signal paths for precise matching and layout.

With each channel physically identical, the C-5000 is capable of the most accurate sound reproduction that is both wide and deep.

Furthermore, the ground loop is minimized when other components are connected.

Double toroidal transformers
The adoption of independent dual toroidal transformers for the left and right channels provides optimal separation and therefore creates a sound stage that is faithful to the original source.

Low magnetic leakage reduces the negative impact on the audio signal. After detailed research based on test listening, the power transformer is enclosed in a copper-clad housing to suppress magnetic flux and vibration. This also helps to reduce the effect of flux in the phono circuit.

This creates a gentle, calm and even spacious sound thanks to the improved reproduction of detailed signals.

Low impedance design
By plating the cabinet with copper to reduce the effect of voltage on the circuit, the C-5000 is capable of expressing the most subtle nuances as well as powerful bass.

In addition, thick screw-type wires are used to reduce the impedance of the power supply and maximize the transfer of musical information.
